Ashley Crawford's Style Lists - Bejeweled and Embellished Sweaters
To brave the perpetual cold weather San Francisco offers, I am taking some wardrobe inspiration from the collections of Markus Lupfer and Christian Bailey's Burberry Prorsum which featured chunky stones embellished on cozy cotton and wool fabrics. The look of these embellished and bejeweled sweaters make it comfortable yet stylish and adaptable for the office and especially for the around-the-year cold temperatures of San Francisco.

Racked SF's 13 Best Places to Buy Denim in San Francisco
1. AB Fits
It's one of the few places in San Francisco where you can find Dope

Big Star, Current/Elliott, all the Js (J, James and Jones), Koral,
